Daily I try to reflect on things for which I am grateful.
This list could be very long if I committed myself to listing each and every
little thing. I am a grateful person. During thanksgiving, others are motivated
to reflect on things for which they are grateful and the world seems a little
nicer. As a parent I look for ways to
teach my children to know and understand how and why to be grateful. This tends to be a challenge for any parent.
I sometimes have the opportunity to visit homeless shelters and food pantries
during my work days. If you every feel like things are not going well for you
or you have not stopped to reflect on what you should be grateful for, go
volunteer at a shelter, soup kitchen, food pantry. You will be overwhelmed with
a sense of gratitude for what you have. On thanksgiving I volunteer
serving/working at a local food pantry. My children accompany me and help serve
a wonderful hot meal for those less fortunate in our community. I would
challenge anyone to take a few minutes out of their day to help another. Show
your gratitude!
